Hi,

I have been using xoops for a while now but this is the first time I tried connecting to my site through the internet. I turn on apache and the mysql service and try to enter the ip address in the address bar. (http://<my ip address>/xoops/index.php)

I reach the log in page, but when I enter my username and password, it fails (page cannot be displayeed). I checked the address bar again, and it automatically redirects me to (http://localhost/xoops/user.php).

may be a basic question but i will appreciate it if anyone give any clue on how to solve this.

Thanks!

You probably need to change the entry in your mainfile.php - it points now to your local host.

Thank you! That solved it. :)
